Agency for Pastoralists Development

APAD is a Community Based Organization formed in 2002 to contribute towards resolution of the inherent problems that affect nomadic pastoralist communities of Loima and cross-border Districts of Karamoja cluster. APAD is made up of 30 members drawn from Loima District of the Larger Turkana County. The Organization is in the process of transitioning from a CBO into a National Non Governmental Organization (NGO). APADs constituency is composed of pastoralist individuals and groups. The organization aims to address the root causes of continued marginalization of the pastoralists as manifested in serious inadequacy of social and physical infrastructure and facilities, low levels of participation in public life of the greater Kenyan society, insecurity, poverty and high illiteracy levels among others.
